FRIDAY GENERAL SESSIONS8:00 a.m. “Protect Our Kids: A Call For Action!” Bob Page, M.Ed, NREMT-P, CCEMT-P, NCEE

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the number one killer of our teen athletes and the number two killer of people in the first 40 years of life. If there was something you could do to protect your kids, would you do it? This talk is based on the cold reality of SCA as we hear every day it seems about a kid collapsing on the basketball court, or football field or other venue. Why is this happening, what can you do to help? Bob Page delivers an impassioned plea to EMS and all of health care to stand up for our kids. The talk covers the major causes of teen SCA and will describe the screening that should be done on all of our teen athletes. Bob will outline a 6 point plan to action and will provide screening looks for parents and health care providers to identify at risk students. This is a no miss session, if you want to protect your kids, come and hear this session!

We will also look at how law enforcement is beginning to partner with other service agencies to identify victim vs. criminals and treat each as such.

Trauma assessment in kids may at times seem difficult and harrowing because we just don’t get to practice assessment that much.
